Sam got wind of it and, Sam being Sam, took it upon himself to introduce Doug to the apple of his eye - Niki.

The only problem was, he did it in the middle of what was frequently referred to as the wettest, busiest and most "chaotic" day on The Block, when the teams were just around the corner from the final tools-down.

So, once Doug and Niki finally met and shared an awkward hug, Niki started talking about how she could use help moving some sand, to which Doug replied: "I'll be happy to move your sand" as if it was some kind of euphemism.

After more awkwardness, Emma watching in horror and some terrible banter, Doug finally made a comment about team four, which evidently turned Niki right off.

She turned from him with little more than a "nice to meet ya" and that was all she wrote.
